famous animation company Production I.G is remaking classic robot anime Reideen.
I was exciting about Production I.G is doing the remake, because this company always doing very high quality animations,( like ghost in the shell ) but I was really upset after I saw the trailer. I don't like what they to the CG robots, expecially the Raideen.
here is the trailer's link.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omcPvycHoJc&eurl=
what you think?

Someone posted the same link over at 4chan.org and I watched it there. I have to say, I don't like their treatment of Reideen either. It might have the "spirit" of the old show, but that robot is not Brave Reideen.

I really think the people remaking the classic mecha anime just for selling the new toy figures or models, so they change many things in the original to fit the new group of young people(like the new gundam series)

the director of Votom is pulling up a new animation called FLAG, it is out in Japan already. from the clips I saw, I really like it and looking forward to it.
by the way the machenic designer is miyatake kazutaka.

Flag is kinda like Johnnie To's Breaking news. I like the idea of having the whole show seen through the lenses of cameras. Don't expect to much action it's more like a documentary of a war zone with interviews and seightseeing tours. I've watched 6 episodes so far. My first impression of this show was kind of boring because I was used to watch anime as story telling medium loaded with action, intrigues, developed characters,fun,ect.

If you're going to see this show watch it as a documentary not as an anime!
Oh I almost forgot the second best part of the show. It's ending theme "Lights"sung by Eri Nobuchika witch was also her debut single summer 2004. It was also enclosed in the PSP GAme Lumines as FPM Obsession mix.
Ooooooh Eriiiiii......

Sorry! I missed the subject.The new Reideen looks okay to me. Allthough it's to shiny with all that gold armor and light a la Orbital Frames. Hope this will change in the cotinuation of the show. Thanks for posting the Youtube trailer. I didn't knew Reideen was also on the list of remakes.

Brave Raideen was a great show - the first of the transforming mecha shows. I'll have to scrounge around and see if I have any good pics of the original Raideen mech.

The new one looks different, but I'm willing to see the show before I pass judgement. They already did one "remake" of Raideen; at least this one has the mech and the hero in it (as opposed to a gang of bishounen in birdy armor).
